The Irish scholar, Jon Halliday, in his book about Enver Hoxha, entitled "The Cunning Albanian", attempts to unravel the mysteries, intrigues, betrayals, paranoia, murders, maneuvers, relationships between figures, conspiracies and plans within the fortress of the communist regime in Albania, but also in all the countries of the communist East. The figure of Enver Hoxha is at the center of the scholar Halliday's book, while all the leaders of the East, starting from Stalin and then Khrushchev, are treated in relation to Enver Hoxha. Referring to observations, reports, testimonies, secret documents, details, etc., the scholar describes the figure of Enver Hoxha, who left behind every eastern dictator, in terms of the speed of his consolidation of power.
In the book, Halliday speaks of Stalin's strong suspicions of Enver Hoxha, while describing Enver Hoxha's five meetings with the leader of the Soviet Union. "Unlike most of the leaders of Eastern Europe after the war, he was indeed very handsome, and very attractive, both to women and men. He knew how to use his attractive power for beauty.
He was a consummate actor. He combined this acting ability with an unwavering determination to prove that he was always right, but he also had the stubbornness to continue until he tired his opponents. These are qualities to gain and maintain power. They are also qualities that infuriate the interlocutor”, – writes the Irish scholar in the book “The Cunning Albanian”.
Stalin's doubts
The Irish scholar writes that Stalin was very suspicious of Enver Hoxha. The Albanian dictator was among the only ones in the Soviet Bloc who did not ask for help and did not need the Soviet army.
“Molotov was putting in a good word for Stalin, who was both curious and suspicious of the only leader of a communist regime in the Soviet Bloc who had no historical ties or contact with the Soviet Union.
And this was true not only of Enver Hoxha as an individual, but of almost the entire leadership group in Albania. Moreover, Albania is the only country within the Bloc that had liberated itself, without the need for the Soviet Red Army to step on its territory,” says Jon Halliday in his book on the figure of Enver Hoxha.
Khrushchev's doubts
Irish scholar Jon Halliday, in his book on Enver Hoxha, describes the memories of dictator Khrushchev about Enver Hoxha. The book states that Hoxha was always vigilant about the people around him and always suspicious of their friendship.
“Ajo çka u jep kujtimeve të Hoxhës një veçantësi të spikatur mbi të gjitha kujtimet e tjera, qoftë edhe ato të Hrushovit, është se si ndërthur inteligjencën dhe aftësinë e tij vëzhguese, me një çiltërsi brutale dhe me vetë-lëvdata të dredha.
Ç’është e vërteta, ai i nxjerr të tëra. Dhe vret mendjen. Në një cep të vogël të Ballkanit për 25 vjet, atij i duhet të vriste mendjen të interpretonte shenjat e të deshifronte veprimet, mesazhet dhe dredhat e miqve dhe armiqve të tij”, shkruan studiuesi.
Pse u prish Enver Hoxha me Titon, Hrushovin dhe Mao Ce Dunin?
Historiani irlandez, Jon Halliday, në librin e tij “Shqiptari dinak-Enver Hoxha”, sjell fakte dhe dëshmi se si Enver Hoxha prishi marrëdhëniet e ngushta dhe miqësore me udhëheqësit më me peshë të shteteve komuniste.
Halliday pohon se, gjatë bisedave që Enver Hoxha ka zhvilluar me Josip Broz Titon, ia ka shtruar disa herë çështjen e Kosovës. Por, jo vetëm që Tito nuk e merrte përsipër këtë çështje, sipas Enver Hoxhës, por Beogradi po përgatiste aneksimin e Shqipërisë.
“Në rrëfimin e Hoxhës mbi lidhjet e tij me Titon dhe regjimin jugosllav, ka njëherësh vërtetësi dhe trillime. Akuza themelore e Hoxhës se Jugosllavia synonte ta aneksonte Shqipërinë, është e drejtë. Prandaj, arsyet e tij për t’i parë me dyshim motivet e jugosllavëve, duken me vend.
Nga ana tjetër, kapërcimi i tij në akuzën se, duke dashur ta aneksonte Shqipërinë, Jugosllavia i zhvati asaj edhe pasuritë, nuk gjen mbështetje në dokumentet që kemi parë. Përkundrazi, Jugosllavia i dha Shqipërisë një ndihmë të madhe gjatë periudhës 1945-‘48, në aspektin thjesht ekonomik”, thuhet në libër.
Gjithashtu, Enver Hoxha e kritikonte mjaft Titon. “Enver Hoxha e kritikon Titon kryesisht në planin personal, që bënte jetë luksoze, sillej me fodullëk dhe nuk i kushtonte shumë kohë njohjes me probleme të fushave të veçanta, sidomos ato ekonomike.
Hoxha kujton një bisedë rreth Kosovës. Ato çka thotë ai janë të besueshme, por nuk mund të verifikohen. Është e pamundur që Tito të jetë shprehur kaq haptas, qoftë edhe për një çështje parimore”, – thotë historiani Halliday.
Prishja e marrëdhënieve me Moskën
Historiani Jon Halliday rrëfen në librin e tij, se si u prishën marrëdhëniet mes Tiranës dhe Moskës pas vdekjes së Stalinit. Enver Hoxha kishte lidhje tepër të ngushta me Stalinin, dhe madje e merrte si shembull në vendimet e tij, por ardhja në pushtet e Nikita Hrushovit, do të vuloste fundin e marrëdhënieve mes Shqipërisë dhe Rusisë.
“Deri nga fundi i viteve ’50-të, marrëdhëniet midis Moskës e Tiranës, në sipërfaqe, dukeshin të mira. Sipas Hoxhës dhe kjo është plotësisht e besueshme, marrëdhëniet zunë të ftoheshin pak kohë pas vdekjes së Stalinit dhe, qysh kur Hrushovi nisi të kërkonte pajtim me Titon, ata morën në tatëpjetën pa kthim.
Khrushchev's reconciliation with Tito in 1955 and his denunciation of Stalin's crimes in 1956 were the two main issues behind the cooling of Soviet-Albanian relations, to which were added the differences between Hoxha and Khrushchev in terms of personality,” the book states. Meanwhile, Khrushchev also had no consideration for the communist leaders of Albania, especially Enver Hoxha.
"Once again, we have two versions that quite contradict each other, that of Enver Hoxha and that of the other side. In his memoirs, Khrushchev expresses bitterness towards the Albanian leaders, especially Hoxha, Prime Minister Shehu and the Minister of Defense, Balluku, saying that; "they are worse than savages, they are monsters."
Khrushchev says, quite rightly, that: "The rift that came to deepen between the Soviet Union and Albania arose mainly because the Albanians were afraid of democratization," Halliday says in his book.
The breakdown of relations with China
According to Jon Halliday, Enver Hoxha also managed to end cooperation with China, while this communist state was very generous with Albania and helped it with aid without any interest. Halliday recounts; "Enver Hoxha said that China was exerting economic, military and then political pressure on Albania, comparing these pressures to those of Khrushchev."
"Enver Hoxha describes in detail the economic and, ultimately, political pressures that China was exerting on Albania and compares these with Khrushchev's pressures. But the way he presents things at this point, Hoxha is very narrow-minded and, by removing them from the ledger, very inaccurate.
"First of all, the aid that China provided to Albania during the period in question was quite large and especially far-sighted and generous, in the sense that it was intended to enable Albania to build a relatively broad industrial base and walk on its own two feet," the book states.
"Not long after, in mid-1975," says Halliday, "while Enver Hoxha in Albania was condemning several leading cadres, accusing them of collaborating with the Chinese, China was signing an agreement to provide Tirana with large amounts of aid, without any interest rate." / Memorie.al
